Hard Disk Swap

From time to time, you want to insert your hard disk into another box. Well, not so often, but sometimes you just have to, for example because your current box suddenly breaks.

This happened to me recently. My video card was suddenly out of order, I had to read and transfer my data, so things went this way:

Apache2 SSL vhosts are hard work

What if, by a sunny Friday afternoon, you find yourself unable to configure Apache2 with SSL and ever again get the same message: Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long?

That happened to me so I frantically checked everything: the SSL certificate was OK, the Apache configuration syntax also, the port numbers too, the module was loaded and the vhost configuration was OK also.

Looked everywhere on the web. Nothing helped.

The Software I Use - #2 Darcs

I first heard about darcs in a conference by Julius Chroboczek, at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Cachan (Paris).

Julius is a math guy, and a good speaker, and he had been using darcs for years already, so I thought ok this is not vaporware ..

Darcs is a distributed versioning system like git, but easier to use.

I have read every comparison page I could find on distributed versioning software, and darcs still stands as a very good choice, even the best one, for people who mention it and actually tried it out. And as we@OFSET were needing such a tool for the association docs, we decided to give darcs a try.

Some tricks for work

As many people, I have some tricks about organizing my work.

I have to manage quite a few projects, large or small, at the same time.

So I limit myself to 2-3 big tasks for each day, and I change everyday. Not counting small things not reading nor answering mail ..
